Seems to be a landing gear problem. Ambulances and emergency services on standby.

Dramatic broadcasting live on both BBC and Sky now. I am sure this will turn out fine, just not sure they should be telling us about it just yet, especially after yesterdays plane incident... wouldn't want to be hearing all this if I had a family member on board!

Recent events have made everyone extra nervy, I'm sure.
